Fitness to practise and professional discipline

This is an advanced course exploring the full fitness to practise process in professional discipline for the health and care professions in the UK.

The digital learning component is supported by a range of seminars and workshops, providing you with a deep understanding of the regulatory framework and practical casework skills required to be able to provide legal advice, drafting and case preparation for cases which are proceeding to to a substantive panel hearing or an Interim Order hearing.

Participants are given full access to an active client case and expected to work in groups, under the supervision of an experience solicitor, to help our client progress their case, whatever stage of the process they are at. This is a collaborative programme which encourages teamwork and engagement with fellow participants and the Sequentus team.

The programme is designed to be flexible, so that you can gain experience by working remotely as part of our team. Apart from regular supervision sessions, participants are encouraged to complete casework around other commitments such as studying, working and caring responsibilities.

Substantive casework on this programme is counted as Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) and subject to achieving the required standard, will be signed off by your supervising solicitor.

For individual’s signing up directly (ie. not through their university or course provider) we have start dates in April, July, September and January. Once you sign up, you can specify your chosen start date.
